In 1154, Frederick I (n.b. era Federico I non: II !!!!) of Swabia - also known as “Barbarossa” - met the Papal emissaries precisely where the restaurant, La Taverna del Barbarossa, now stands, offering a spectacular view across the Val d’Orcia.

Situated in the park of olive and cypress trees of the Wellness Center Casanova Hotel, it is just a short walk from the main building, carefully restored in the year 1200, and maintains the particular architecture of the time, such as the great sandstone fireplace, a work from the “Scala di Siena”. La Taverna del Barbarossa, which owes its name to the 12th century ruler, consists in two halls and an outdoor veranda for summer dining.

At the La Taverna del Barbarossa restaurant, the menu follows the rhythm and colors of the seasons. Here, regional dishes that are typical of Tuscan cuisine prevail, made with products offered by the land, with fragrant garden herbs and those of Etruscan origin, cleverly reinterpreted in a contemporary manner by the chef and his staff.

The kitchen is also able to satisfy the needs of our celiac guests with tasty, delicious dishes. To accompany the meals, there is a rather important wine list that includes prestigious labels, such as Chianti, Nobile, and Brunello, respecting the wine tradition of the region. At the Taverna del Barbarossa, children are also prized guests and, while they wait to enjoy dishes from specially prepared menus, they can have fun drawing with colored pencils and paper, always at their disposal.
